Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

I was promised a recession.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

People are complicated. Love is not.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Consistently wrong since 2002

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Let’s finish the job.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Shoot-Out on The Bridge

Details are sketchy, but this is all there is right now:

Police shot and killed at least five people Sunday after gunmen opened fire on a group of contractors traveling across a bridge on their way to make repairs, authorities said.

Deputy Police Chief W.J. Riley said police shot at eight people carrying guns, killing five or six.

Fourteen contractors were traveling across the Danziger Bridge under police escort when they came under fire, said John Hall, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers.

Another day in the disaster zone.

    First of all,

    Steve: STFU. You don’t even know what you’re talking about, you little media whore.

    Secondly, I guess we can blame Bush for the shootings. I mean, they were probably black, right?

    Does not look true to me. Police are that accurate? Shooting pistols? The NOLA police? From what distance?

    From fifty feet away, with looters exposed and not moving (like in a shooting range), I might believe they could kill “five or six” without taking any casualties. Beyond that distance, with the looters moving and diving for cover, who beleives the NOLA police are that good? Great shooting for the special forces. Seems unbelievable for a low morale NOLA police force. Look like a planted story, meant to deter looters.
